IGT 9/13, Game 2. Braves at Mets, Jon vs. Jo-Jo

Benjamin Grimm Sep 13 2008 05:14 PM

A bit of pressure on young Jonathon Niese this evening. Let's see him step up and pitch a game we'll be talking about (positively!) for years to come.

Niese? And then Perez who looked like he just didn't care last game for tomorrow. All of a sudden I have a terrible feeling about this series.

Castillo looked so good in that AB that he deserves a start--that was sarcastic.

I love that boy! 2-0 Mets on Wright's first inning homer :)

Keith isn't going to be at tomorrow's game because he's going to be in DC. Is he going to Edgy's wedding?

themetfairy Sep 13 2008 06:07 PM

Reyes' homer gives the Mets a 4-0 lead!

duan Sep 13 2008 06:13 PM

can anyone get this on mlb.tv i can't figure out how.

themetfairy Sep 13 2008 06:15 PM

Hey - I went to high school with that doctor Kevin Burkhart was interviewing in the top of the inning!

bmfc1 Sep 13 2008 06:19 PM

The mlb.tv feed isn't working. I waited for 15 minutes to find out that "there's an issue" and "they are working on it."

themetfairy Sep 13 2008 06:25 PM

The bottom of the third continues because the rookie relief pitcher fails to cover first base for what should have been the third out.

themetfairy Sep 13 2008 06:26 PM

But the inning ends on Castillo's grounder of Carlyle's foot :(

metsguyinmichigan Sep 13 2008 07:16 PM

I take it that Niese is not as nervous as he was in his debut! Nice game, kid! (So far)

Fman99 Sep 13 2008 07:27 PM

Big K there to end the top of the 7th. Niese has been great. I like the big sweeping curveball.

Rockin' Doc Sep 13 2008 07:28 PM

Niese with seven shut out innings thus far. Heart of the order coming up. Time for some tack on runs so to put this game out of reach.

TheOldMole Sep 13 2008 07:28 PM

Niese does the job.

TheOldMole Sep 13 2008 07:29 PM

Why would you suppose that Niese wouldn't understand the full import of what he did tonight? I understand it.

TheOldMole Sep 13 2008 07:32 PM

Rockin' Doc Sep 13 2008 07:32 PM

Beltran says, "There's a tack on run for you."

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2008 07:43 PM

Niese was being born the date the Mets won the 1986 World Series. Neat for Niese! Okay, I'll supply my own crickets for this one

The kid finishes eight shutout innings.

TheOldMole Sep 13 2008 07:47 PM

I forget now -- one of the guys in the booth.

themetfairy Sep 13 2008 07:47 PM

Why is SNY running ads encouraging people to buy tickets for today's game? If people haven't bought them by now, they ain't gonna be leaving their TVs to buy them now.

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2008 07:50 PM

I'm just glad that they don't have any cheesy marketing campaign for postseason tickets this year.

This is the makeup of last night's rainout. I suppose all of the commercial breaks are prearranged and those ads would've aired last night instead of today. Only thing I can think of.

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2008 07:51 PM

Is Larry available to pinch hit in this game? Nice job by Murph.

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2008 07:53 PM

I wonder if poor Greg is still at Shea, almost 6 hours now since the first pitch of Game 1.

TheOldMole Sep 13 2008 08:02 PM

Yes!

Fman99 Sep 13 2008 08:02 PM

PIITB

Rockin' Doc Sep 13 2008 08:03 PM

I feel better now than I did a few hours ago. It would have been a tough night had the Mets lost this game too.

themetfairy Sep 13 2008 08:07 PM

Whew! Nice win for the rookie!

Agreed. Only a total doofus wouldn't realize that this was a big game.
